Introduction
We introduce CompassJudger-2, a novel series of generalist judge models designed to overcome the narrow specialization and limited robustness of existing LLM-as-judge solutions. Current judge models often struggle with comprehensive evaluation, but CompassJudger-2 addresses these limitations with a powerful new training paradigm.
Key contributions of our work include:
- Advanced Data Strategy: We employ a task-driven, multi-domain data curation and synthesis strategy to enhance the model's robustness and domain adaptability.
- Verifiable Reward-Guided Training: We supervise judgment tasks with verifiable rewards, guiding the model's intrinsic reasoning through chain-of-thought (CoT) and rejection sampling. A refined margin policy gradient loss further enhances performance.
- Superior Performance: CompassJudger-2 achieves state-of-the-art results across multiple judge and reward benchmarks. Our 7B model demonstrates competitive accuracy with models that are significantly larger.
- JudgerBenchV2: We introduce a new, comprehensive benchmark with 10,000 questions across 10 scenarios, using a Mixture-of-Judgers (MoJ) consensus for more reliable ground truth.
This repository contains the CompassJudger-2 series of models, fine-tuned on the Qwen2.5-Instruct series.

Quickstart
Here is a simple example demonstrating how to load the model and use it for pairwise evaluation.
import torchfrom transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer model_path = "opencompass/CompassJudger-2-7B-Instruct" model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained( model_path, torch_dtype="auto", device_map="auto")tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path) # Example: Pair-wise Comparisonprompt = """Please act as an impartial judge to evaluate the responses provided by two AI assistants to the user question below. Your evaluation should focus on the following criteria: helpfulness, relevance, accuracy, depth, creativity, and level of detail. - Do not let the order of presentation, response length, or assistant names influence your judgment.- Base your decision solely on how well each response addresses the user’s question and adheres to the instructions. Your final reply must be structured in the following format:{ "Choice": "[Model A or Model B]"} User Question: {question} Model A's Response: {answerA} Model B's Response: {answerB} Now it's your turn. Please provide selection result as required:""" messages = [ {"role": "user", "content": prompt}] text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template( messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device) generated_ids = model.generate( **model_inputs, max_new_tokens=2048)generated_ids = [ output_ids[len(input_ids):] for input_ids, output_ids in zip(model_inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)] response = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]print(response)
Evaluation
CompassJudger-2 sets a new state-of-the-art for judge models, outperforming general models, reward models, and other specialized judge models across a wide range of benchmarks.
